The OOC game tonight is going to be another like Pine Bluff. We're going to score...a lot. A&M Commerce is still in their probationary jump to D1 period.

The game tonight should be much more competitive. The Commerce roster is filled with. a bunch of Dallas area ECRL girls with a few lower level NL girls mixed in. They also have an NL player (Ava Watts) who played at TSC. TU will have a significant talent edge but it won’t be Ark PB.

Memphis

Penny and the Tigers are about to go through some stuff. And he just fired almost his entire staff. Anonymous letter sent to the AD about Penny and detailing some pretty hefty recruiting and rules violations. Hope Haggerty enjoys not even having a chance to go to the NCAA for a couple years. My guess is he's going to transfer again. How many schools can he play for in 5 years?

This post is the hope of USMNT vs true apathetic reality

Considering Chelsea wanted to move on and they negotiated a lower buyout than what was originally in the contract. But now Chelsea has been under scrutiny for their spending and I believe they are under investigation for the FFP rules in the EPL. Seems like every club is under investigation for the FFP. Chelsea certainly can buy their way out of it (something about the parent company selling off assets to other companies under their umbrella and showing a profit and income vs just a shifting of assets within the same org) but smaller clubs seem to get dinged and hit with points reductions while City gets to continue spending more than they bring in year upon year.

Anyway, back to Pochettino, once they finish the buyout negotiation, he will sign his contract for USMNT. He has a chance to make a huge mark on his legacy with this job and I think that's the challenge for him. I don't think he did a bad job at Chelsea but when the previous couple of coaches totally screwed up the locker room and roster (Tuchel was a cancer and should never be allowed to manage a team again) it was hardly an opportunity for Poch to be successful there. And Poch certainly was good at Spurs but Spurs fans and ownership is completely unrealistic when it comes to results. Top 4 in EPL should be a goal for any side, but somehow not good enough for Spurs. They weren't going to ever get past City and the $$$$$ they spend. And Liverpool; both of which had superior overall talent and 2 of the best managers on the planet right now.

Looking forward to seeing what Poch can do. I'd also expect Haji Wright and Sargent to get more looks as Poch seems to favor the big target 9s. Pulisic and Weah should absolutely thrive in his system.

Thanks for spelling it out in detail, I absolutely agree… Looking forward to the expected progress over the next couple of years.

Great, another accountability and efficiency panel planning a big audit. Throw it on the pile, I am sure everyone involved in this massive audit of the entire government will work for free and it will pay for itself with all the fraud it finds, right?

It won't just add a new permanent watchdog that needs to be funded and creates ever more bloat and red tape and creates more paperwork and writings of justifications for every little expense which costs man hours, productivity, and ultimately is not cost-efficient and hurts morale, right?

I can assure you that the government already spends far more than most businesses trying to do this. Abuses exist and always will, but there comes a point where it is no longer cost effective to root it out because it is rare enough and the amount of effort it takes to get 100% compliance costs much more than the last 1% is worth.

I could give you a thousand examples of that, and if we ever meet in a bar, maybe I will. The point is, we already frequently spend $100 to save $10 in the name of accountability.

Since we are talking about the public sector, maybe that is an acceptable cost as government needs to be more transparent with taxpayer dollars than private industry. There's a bigger trust issue at play than with private industry, and trying to prevent fraud (at any cost) which might make the news does help to engender that trust. But I don't think we need more than we already have. Perhaps better communication of those efforts to the public would help.

Inflation and a recession are now here :(

Powell just stated the Fed will begin cutting rates. This coming after the government reduced the number of jobs created by almost 1M. Indicating the labor market has been weaker than reported for a significant period of time. I’m not sure of the process involved in coming up with our monthly labor reports but I know it needs to improve.

Markets are up on the news and bond yields are down. All good news.

Sigh... More Laffer optimum misconceptions.

It's true. Consider the extreme example of a flat tax rate at 99%, stifling economic development. One year, the government decides to cut the flat tax rate down to 98%. Now, you've just doubled the income of everyone in the country! People spend significantly more than they previously did with this new excess, and the economic output of the country grows, say by 50%. That 50% growth in the economy more than offsets the 1% drop in tax revenues, and the federal budget can actually grow by cuts.

This is the part you understand well as it has been parroted for decades by pretty much every politician that ever wanted to pass a tax cut.

But it is not a general truth. Consider the inverse. Taxes are a flat 1% on everyone. The government cuts taxes in half one year, down to 0.5%! The government has lost HALF of its income and cannot operate unless the economic output of the country quickly doubles. The everyday tax payer.... barely notices the change and had their take-home pay increase by less than 1%. Economic output actually suffers, because despite the fact that people have (slightly) more cash, things like underfunded schools and roads hurt productivity and the government enters a downward spiral of diminishing revenues.

Reality is there is no flat tax, and it is not so simple. But that's not convenient for people who want to pretend the tax code and economy are simple things. Most of the US tax code is pretty far below the Laffer optimum already to the point that cuts actually have an outsized negative effect and don't pay for themselves. Almsot every actual expert agrees with that.

I like a tax cut as much as the next guy, but we shouldn't pretend that any budget holes won't need to somehow be plugged, either by increasing revenues elsewhere, or program cuts. Doing so leaves us in a position with no choice but to incur massive debt and argue endlessly about whose fault it is.
